The Atlanta Hawks are in a fantastic position for the future, with an exciting young core and notable roster flexibility. With that as the backdrop, general manager Travis Schlenk has received all kinds of praise for his work and, on Monday, word broke that he will ink a contract extension with the organization.
Zach Klein of WSB TV brings word of a “multi-year contract extension” for Schlenk and, while the Hawks have not yet announced the deal, a league source confirms the contract is in place. Schlenk arrived after the 2016-2017 season and, since then, the head of basketball operations has remade the roster with an impressive rebuilding effort.
